Calcium Channel Blocker (amlodepine) Poisioning Managed by Hyperinsulinemic Euglycemic Therapy--a Case Report and Review of Literature
نویسنده
چکیده
Amlodepine poisioning is rare. Amlodepine toxicity presents as hypotension, pulmonary oedema both cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic. Standard approaches to the management of calcium channel blocker overdoses, including fluid resuscitation, gut decontamination, administration of calcium, as well as supportive care, are often ineffective. pWe report a case of amlodepine poisioning with acute respiratory distress syndrome, successfully managed with hyperinsulinemic eugycemia therapy (HIE).

Calcium channel blocker toxicity can be devastating. Initial therapy with fluid, calcium, and adrenoreceptor agonists should be prompt and novel therapies can be added if no response. Determining cardiogenic shock versus vasoplegia with echocardiogram or other hemodynamic monitoring may guide treatment options.
